Hi! My name is Marcela, and I have nearly 3 years of childcare experience as an Au Pair and nanny in the United States. I have cared for children of different ages, helping with school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework, meal preparation, after-school activities, and creating a safe, fun, and positive environment. I am responsible, patient, organized, and caring. I enjoy encouraging children to be active, creative, and confident. I also have experience caring for pets, including dogs and cats, and I am comfortable assisting with light household tasks. I have a valid driver’s license and experience safely driving children to school, sports practices, camps, and other activities. I am bilingual in Spanish and English, which allows me to communicate effectively with families from diverse backgrounds and even help children learn a second language if desired. Families describe me as trustworthy, dependable, and attentive. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment where children can learn, grow, and feel happy every day.
Hiii ! My name is Abbie and I’m 19 years old, I’m from Washington DC but moved to Texas when I was around 12 !! I love children so much and am in school to be a pediatric nurse !! I’ve been taking care of my baby brother on my own since I was around 10 and I help teach children church at my church on Sundays !
“Such a sweet and welcoming soul. My 5 year old was my main concern since he has separation anxiety, he felt so comfortable and welcomed when I came home he said “I didn’t cry cause she was so nice”. Abbie gave constant communication and very professional. ”
Hi, my name is Vianney, I have worked caring for littles since age 15 and now care for my grandparents as well. I absolutely love infants, children, and seniors. I have experience in all ages. My abilities are not limited to just playing and having fun but cooking, cleaning, doing crafts, and homework when needed. I am an animal person so any help with your fur babies I am your gal.
“Showed up early, she and my kid seemed to have a great time. Looking forward to next time ”
I have worked with children for 20 years as an educator in and out of the classroom. I have worked with families providing childcare for 10 years. I am patient, kind and nurturing. I’m interested in what the kids are interested in doing. This ranges from legos to drawing and anywhere in between. I have worked with children aged from infant to 12 years old. I’m CPR and first aid certified. I take pride in giving parents time off knowing their little ones are well cared for.
“Tamara came through in a pinch; she was punctual, polite, and great with the kids!”
I’m a caring, patient, and reliable person who loves working with children. I’ve taken care of younger siblings and family members. I’m good at keeping kids engaged, safe, and having fun. I enjoy planning simple activities, helping with snacks, maintaining routines, and creating a calm environment. Families can rely on me to be responsible and communicative.
